Found the issue. My car has no parallel parking, however the option was enabled in the camera module. Disabled it, and the lines appeared. Seems to be that the databus info being sent by the camara was not according to the expectations. Now, lastly I need to calibrate it.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the writeup both @weyland and @langers2k. I`ve purchased a highline camera, and managed to fit it in. I have an EU spec car with the wheel on the left, so I had to adjust a bit the wiring. Went through the right side of the car the same way as langers2k to get to the MIB unit, however I had to extend the +12V to fuse box, which is located on the driver side. I`ve coded it similarly to langers2k, and it functions as expected, all modes are available (fish-eye, normal view, hitch view). The only thing missing are the guidelines, and there are some errors with the camera module which I can read with VCDS however I am unable to figure out what to do next. Any help would be extremely helpful, as I would like to get it running as expected. You will see the photos with the way the camera works and here are the fault codes in VCDS:

Hmmm, I`m outside and there is nothing over the car. I`ll check in some wiring diagrams if there are any sensors, however didn`t find any mention about these. Plus, that should not impact the lighting.

Hi everyone, Recently bought our first car, and lucky for us it is a Skoda Octavia MK3. However, due to buying the car from another country, I was not able to test all the small details, and I have an issue with the boot compartment. There are actually 2 issues: 1) The lateral lights in the boot do not light up when it is being opened 2) When you open the boot either with the key fob/boot button/button near the gear selector, it opens up at ~20 degrees and stops in place. I have to open it manually further. However, if I press the closing button from any position, it fully closes without any issues. I`m in the process of buying VCDS, so that I can check for errors, however looking over the symptoms, and after searching the internet for some time, I was able to find that the lock mechanism has 2 micro-switches. One is responsible for the warning light in the dash, and the other one is responsible for the courtesy lights. My thinking is that this microswitch is faulty, thus, when the trunk opens lights don`t come up, and the same signal stops the further opening of the trunk. Or either I`m a lucky guy, and in additional to the faulty microswitch, maybe a strut has a faulty hall sensor.... I don`t think the problem is in the struts, as they are able to close slowly the trunk without it being dropped at the end, however, in the next days, I will disconnect the struts from the trunk lid, and simulate the trunk opening without any weight on them, so that I can check if they are opening fully or not. Did anyone else encounter such an issue, or do you have any recommendations on what I could check else? Cheers!
